Experience a bold take on this classic autobiography as it’s performed by Oscar-nominated Laurence Fishburne. In this searing classic autobiography, originally published in 1965, Malcolm X, the Muslim leader, firebrand, and Black empowerment activist, tells the extraordinary story of his life and the growth of the Human Rights movement. His fascinating perspective on the lies and limitations of the American dream and the inherent racism in a society that denies its non-White citizens the opportunity to dream, gives extraordinary insight into the most urgent issues of our own time.

This book changed my life, its just so spot on
- By Lee Nielsen on 29-09-2022
Publisher's Summary
In the beginner's mind there are many possibilities, but in the expert's there are few. So begins this most beloved of all American Zen works. Seldom has such a small handful of words provided a teaching as rich as this famous opening line of Shunryu Suzuki's classic. In a single stroke, the simple sentence cuts through the pervasive tendency students have of getting so close to Zen as to completely miss what it's all about. An instant teaching in the first minutes. And that's just the beginning.
In the 30 years since its original publication, Zen Mind, Beginner's Mind has become one of the great modern Zen classics. Suzuki Roshi presents the basics in a way that is remarkably clear and resonates with the joy of insight. Listeners will refer to this audio time and time again as an inspiration to practice.

Not what I thought it would be
Would you try another book written by Shunryu Suzuki or narrated by Peter Coyote?
It's a difficult book to listen to and it may be because of the quality of the recording and also the narrator is very monotone.
What was most disappointing about Shunryu Suzuki’s story?
I can't even finish listening to it so it's not about Shunryu Suzuki's story but more the quality of the recording and narration.
Would you be willing to try another one of Peter Coyote’s performances?
No
